Just as I went from managing little Megans at Lehman Brothers to selling rocks and minerals on eBay, Megan will eventually wake-up and realize that she has already had the biggest paycheck in her life before reaching age 40.

Mr Friedman has done more than possibly any other economist to advance the cause of free markets. But that is not his only contribution; perhaps it is not even his largest. Anyone who would compare the Nobel prize-winner to JKG as an economist can only have a gaping hole in their economic education.</I><BR/><BR/>Now he has a Nobel and she's still an idiot.Susan of Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00076915322771385454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-6496700131961255242009-01-26T21:59:00.000-05:002009-01-26T21:59:00.000-05:00Fuck.Fuck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-40989617926185991612009-01-26T21:53:00.000-05:002009-01-26T21:53:00.000-05:00The NY Times editorial page has become a joke over...The NY Times editorial page has become a joke over the past 10-15 years. Never thought provoking. Always banal. So Megan would be the natural choice to fill Kristol's spot. She and Tom Friedman can give each other tips on how to write the most insipid prose on any major paper.

The editors will take one look at her history of laziness and missed deadlines and drop her in favor of some nutter from NR who turns in his drafts on time.<BR/><BR/>I was going to say that they'd also hate the constant fact-checking and copy editing. But then I realized that we're talking about Kristol's old spot.
